Ethernet switch is a type of network switch that connects a computer to all computer network devices. It reduces complexity and provides flexibility in handling computer or data center networking hence, fuels the application of ethernet switches on a wider scale. It is a multiport switch that monitors traffic related errors and diagnosis them. It keeps a track of the functioning of ports and quality of signals. Besides offering secure and direct data connection to each media access control address, ethernet switches maintain a statistic of transmitted and received data. They prevent wastage of bandwidth by securing vulnerable date on nodes. In smart grid, ethernet switch plays a vital role in substation automation, by switching to an ethernet-based network, minimizing expense and difficulty of cabling between devices of transmission & distribution substations.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario Analysis for Ethernet Switch Market

• Due to the logistics slowdown and unavailability of workforce across the globe, there has been a halt in production of ethernet switches.
• Cisco is constantly monitoring its supply chain for problems that may impact its operations, working closely with its suppliers to identify and mitigate possible consequences. It has well defined mechanisms for managing its activities through outbreaks such as COVID-19, including its Global Business Resilience (GBR) and Mechanisms for Supply Chain Incident Management (SCIM). Restrictions have been imposed on businesses in some countries, but exemptions have been granted to Cisco along with its partner manufacturers for some critical business work, which has allowed Cisco to continue operating with available capacity.
